Signals, not verdicts. A domain appears here because heuristics matched its name, its infrastructure or the page it served on its first day. Where a model has looked at it, that is shown as an opinion with a confidence, not as a finding. Nothing on this page says a site is malicious. Read the evidence and decide for yourself.

Model opinions

Second opinionlooks like phishingtarget: Costcoconfidence 93%· claude-opus-5-5

The typosquat costc.shop uses the Costco Wholesale logo, the Kirkland Signature product line and a 'Shop Costco online' storefront to take payment. Every product carries the same implausible $200→$70 markdown, the classic fake-shop pattern for card and personal-data theft under a brand the domain does not own.

First passlooks like phishingtarget: Costcoconfidence 98%· claude-haiku-4-5

The domain costc.shop is a typosquat of Costco (costco.com). The page displays Costco's logo, branding, product layout, and exact taglines ('Warehouse prices, delivered'; 'Shop Costco online'), while the page title claims to be Costco without owning that brand. The presence of forms posting to itself with no offsite links matches the sealed-room phishing pattern designed to capture credentials or payment data from visitors deceived into thinking they are on the legitimate Costco site.

A model looked at the screenshot and page text and wrote what it thought. It can be wrong, and it is not a finding.
